Such as when a student tries to avoid doing homework in a creative way that many students can identify with.
One great outlet is social media platforms like Instagram or Twitter. You can post your short, funny stories in a series of tweets or as Instagram captions. Another option is to submit your stories to local or online magazines that focus on humor. Also, starting your own blog dedicated to funny short stories can be a great way to share them.
